Salman Khan recently shot for his cameo in Judwaa 2 and was seen interacting with the entire team which included Sajid Nadiadwala, David Dhawan along with the cast - Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu. 

In a candid chat with Pinkvilla, we asked Taapsee on whether it was a dream come true for her to meet and work with Salman. On this, Taapsee stated, "I never really had a dream of this profession, in my life. I had never dreamt of becoming an actor so that's why I never had this dream, that this will happen to me one day. Every day I shoot a new film, it's a bonus for me. So working with Salman was also like a bonus...be it, just for that one scene that I saw him around. On the set, I was the only one probably who had neither seen him before nor worked with him before. Everyone has seen him before or worked with him before. I was probably the quietest one on set that day contradictory to all other days when I'm the most talkative person on the set. That day it was totally the opposite. I was just standing there and observing and talking, bare minimum and watching how everyone is around him."

Was there a perception or an image in her head before she met Salman? Taapsee revealed, "You hear everything that people tell you and especially since I'm working with the Judwaa team who have had some really close encounters with Salman...be it Sajid sir or David sir. They keep telling us instances about the experiences of working with Salman and you form a certain image of him. But when you meet him, that's a totally different feeling. For that one second, the flashbacks of all the things that you have seen of him on screen just start coming to your head when you meet that person for the first time. I didn't go with any kind of expectations or an image in my head that this is how he will be or not be. I was just looking forward to meeting him."
